I am so proud to help announce a new video game website! In the year 2026! @midimyers.com and @zoehhannah.com join Post Games to talk about mothership.blog. Plus, they share a history of women in games media! You'll love this one! And so will your friends!

D0N7 TRU57 7H3M.

In case you missed it: inkle's next game will be out in less than two weeks. If our account disappears between then and now, this trailer is why.

A short post on the opening lines of a game: how they work, and what they can do. (With examples. Possibly indulgent, but I think the topic is interesting.)

TR-49 is out on 21st Jan!!!! It’s the product of the wonderful @inkle.co team and a truly genius idea - but that’s classified for now… But seriously, I loved working on this last year with @jon.inkle.co and @paulwarren.bsky.social 😊 and from the bits I’ve heard, @pabosher.com is brilliant too!

"Are you there? Can you hear me?" Thrilled to be back for another inkle game! A very different game (and role) from Highland Song, but that's no surprise. I shouldn't say much, but I hope the many hours of joint recording with @jon.inkle.co and @rmcloughlin.bsky.social speak for themselves

Paul is phenomenal in this. Absolutely brilliant. He’s a delight to listen to, and Jon’s choice of casting and direction is really masterful: playing against tone and type really really well.

This game was the best thing I played last year, and would have been my GOTY if it were, well, out yet. Always a joy to work with @inkle.co.

This is our first pre-order on iOS. On iPad in particular, it's *delicious* App Store link: 👉 apps.apple.com/app/tr-49/id...

If you like to feel clever while listening to a good story, wishlist this immediately! (And everybody will praise the visuals, the voiceovers, the puzzle &c but, really, the best thing about this game is the immersive haptic vibrations making you feel like you actually operate the machine!)

Also: £7 for this on iOS is a freaking STEAL are you kidding me

This is going to be so good.

Here's what we've been working on!

We are aware this material is being tracked and is at risk of being taken down. Please watch and share ASAP. The work of Caulderly, Dooler et al deserves to be made fully public. Please wishlist (Steam) and pre-order (iOS) appropriately.

🚨⚠️ Release Date Disclosure! ⚠️🚨 TRAILER: VIDEO EVIDENCE, see below. Please watch, assimilate and share. DESIGNATION: TR-49 GENRE: NARRATIVE DEDUCTION / AUDIO_DRAMA DATE: 21st JANUARY PLATFORMS: iOS / PC / Mac / Deck This is what we know, so far.

TR-49 is coming January 21st, and I’m so incredibly excited. I think @paulwarren.bsky.social and @rmcloughlin.bsky.social are doing an incredible job leading the voices of this trailer, and I can’t wait for you all to find out what I’m up to… “So there *is* someone else here. Huh.”

At @adventurex.bsky.social I gave a talk on creating stories from scratch: from idea to full outline, in 25 minutes, with jokes. Enjoy!

Nessa is a wonderful person, WICKEDLY talented as a writer and narrative designer, and also a gd great voice director to boot. She’d be an asset to any team, in any capacity. Hire her, and watch the hardest working woman in games improve your title exponentially.

Getting a lot of follows recently which is nice! Here’s a primer in case you’d like to know more about me:

Hey! Is today your first day back at work after the holiday break? Do you want to cheer yourself up with three minutes of something light and sweet? Why not check out How We Met… below!

It is a ridiculously big year for Nintendo anniversaries. Zelda and Metroid are turning 40, Pokémon is 30, the Nintendo 64 is 30, the Gamecube will be 25 (alongside Luigi's Mansion and Pikmin), and the Wii will be 20. Even Pokémon Go is 10. A good time to buy my book 👀 linktr.ee/super_nintendo

I’m so excited for folks to dig into TR-49. More info coming tomorrow…

Please bookmark or otherwise the following page on store.steampowered.com to receive updates more efficiently.

Just in: we've received the necessary declassification paperwork related to the more sensitive materials we're in possession of. We should be able to show more details of the TR-49 device as soon as tomorrow.

My wrap of Season 1 where I take some time to discuss what I've learned so far and where I want to take the podcast in the future. Just me and a little waffle! Find Dev to Dev here: https://linktr.ee/DevToDev

I'm so pleased to finally share How We Met... with you all. It's been in my mind for a little while, and I'm really proud of it! It's short (3 min!), sweet, and fun, and I hope you enjoy watching it. If you do, consider leaving a comment, a retweet, a like, anything. Thanks for watching and sharing!

While I was sick for a good chunk of the holidays, I still managed to spend some time with family, eat lots of good food, and also work on an update for the game that I've been trying to get to for several months. MythmasterRPG version 3.1 - The Crafting Update is now live at www.MythmasterRPG.com

@intothecast.bsky.social ah, I just got to the end of the episode! I have a Vita - as vita means life - so I’m happy to be discounted from that, but otherwise love to be in the draw! PS one game was too hard so…

Wake up nerds, @letterboxd.social Year in Review just dropped. letterboxd.com/pabosher/yea...

January also has TR-49 from @inkle.co . They have a proven track record of great narrative in games, and I am a total sucker for WW2 era mysteries. I don't know much about it yet, but honestly, I don't need to know anything else to want to see more. steampowered.com/app/3838370

new year new game!! My friend @aimeehyndman.bsky.social and I just released our debut game through @beakandclawpress.bsky.social! Introducing Adventuring Party Builder, a collaborative tarot-based card game for building characters together in session zero of any high fantasy TTRPG campaign ⚔️

We started the new year with a very fun little short shoot. HOW WE MET, coming… very soon.

Penultimate day of the year; final project of the year! Delighted to have worked with Quest for W.F. Howes on ROSEANNA by Beverley Watts. Multi-cast audiobooks are always such fun, and especially when they're with old friends like Tom Alexander, Hannah Melbourn, and Cliff Chapman. Happy New Year!

Post Games is truly excellent. I wasn’t sure at first - before I’d listened - because I worried it would take the wrong lessons from NPR: i.e. pretentious, boring. But imo it’s far more like going into your local record store, staffed by a relaxed lover of your favourite medium. Fun and informative.

I had such a good time putting together this highlights video for MinnMax's 2025, really proud of the whole crew. Any help sharing this Best Of is appreciated! www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6mH...

This was a lot of fun to work on!

My favourite film of the year. Hawke is impossibly good in it.

🔔 FREE MINI INKLE WEB GAME 🔔

It’s a Christmas miracle! I had randomly been selling a few extra copies of Substage on Christmas Day and just assumed it was because people were enjoying their Christmas by spending money on a Mac productivity tool. Turned out, MacRumors had featured it, yay! www.macrumors.com/2025/12/24/1...

Holy shit [REDACTED] is so soon?!?

Holiday coma leaving you sluggish? Why not try to figure out the release date for our next game by joining things up with bits of red string. www.inklestudios.com/tr-49/pinboa...

Heading into 2026, I'm still looking for fulltime or contract work as a senior writer or narrative designer. If you need someone who can write sharp characters, poetic prose, and emotional stories, I'm available! You can find my portfolio here: www.hazelmonforton.com

Upcoming games I am working on (that I can talk about) include; Amberspire- a science fantasy city builder. store.steampowered.com/app/3350750/... Thousand Hells- a surrealist tactical narrative game published by Kitfox. store.steampowered.com/app/3794210/...

I’m Holly- a writer, narrative designer and historian. Recently got my PhD (19th & 20thC social cultural history through the lens of play & board games) and currently working in game development. I do a lot of things but I particularly love applying historical approaches to interactive storytelling.
